Edit: Apologies, it seems it does not in fact use dark matter.
- paulrouget 7y agoThe Alcubierre drive relies on negative matter, not dark matter.
- archgoon 7y agoUnfortunately, Alcubierre doesn't use dark matter. It uses negative mass (or even imaginary mass) matter. Dark Matter is believed to have regular positive mass (if it were negative mass, we'd be wondering why galaxies seemed to have less matter than they should). The existence of negative mass exotic matter remains an open question.
